Democrats Have Become a Disfigured Reflection of the Party They Once Were
In an amazingly prophetic story by Isaac Bashevis Singer entitled "The Gentleman from Cracow," about life in the village of Frampol, where "the food was scarce and the water foul," one day, a young man, a doctor, arrives in a carriage drawn by eight horses. He tells the villagers that his wife and baby have just died in childbirth, and his rabbi had advised him that his melancholy would disappear in Frampol. He begins to spend a lot of money in the town, and the town prospers as never before. He finally decides to marry one of the local women. On the day of the wedding, "the gentleman from Cracow revealed his true identity." Who is he? Singer reveals him to us: "He was no longer the young man the villagers had welcomed, but a creature covered with scales, with an eye in his chest, and on his forehead a horn that rotated at great speed. His arms were covered with hair, thorns, and elflocks, and his tail was a mass of live serpents, for he was none other than Ketev Mriri, Chief of the Devils."
The above story could be a parable about the Democratic Party, which can now rightly be called the Leftocratic Party, as it has embraced extremist socialist and communist views. Its members have morphed from being a voice of hope as one of America's two great parties to being properly characterized as unbelievable liars in their animus toward Pres. Donald J. Trump, voices of perversion as they publicly condemn any reservations expressed about "gender fluidity," and anti-prosperity as they wax indignant about Trump's disengagement from various multilateral deals that drain our economy. Practical and realistic concerns about Islamic terrorist threats are dismissed with outraged, scowling faces as vicious, maniacal racism. Further, the so-called impeachment hearings distorted or discarded almost every time-honored legal norm under our rule of law.
The Leftocrats are apologists for evil (not just disagreeable) foreign regimes and are against fundamental Constitutional ideas and structures such as the Tenth Amendment as they resist federal disengagement from setting nationwide education priorities. Leftocrats have been vehemently calling for abolition of the Electoral College. They are cursing the president from every podium and venue that presents itself and thereby undermine the separation of powers and demonstrate disrespect for the law of the land since our president is head of the Executive Branch.
We see in their contempt for federal marijuana laws, the institution of sanctuary cities, and their hostility to border enforcement a deranged lack of perspective regarding the health of our citizens, many of whom are struggling with or dying from drug usage. The opioid epidemic we face is clearly connected to the opioid supply, and that, in turn, is clearly a border issue. Yet they put aside the well-being of so many poor souls caught by the hook of addiction into ignoring border enforcement in order to score political hate points against the president. Instead of looking at border issues in terms of law and national health, they turn enforcement into an ugly, defamatory argument about American and Trumpian racism. Only 14 years ago, they were able to agree with Republicans on the need for stronger border enforcement, whereas now they try to block every Trump attempt — mandated by the American people — to bring order out of chaos on our southern border.
Their ideas of fairness, justice, family, morality, generosity, love, responsibility are not American in any meaningful way. Instead of promoting political ideals consistent with the U.S. history of Judeo-Christian ideas and ideals (based upon a Protestant foundation derived from English speaking Protestants, albeit with overlays of other Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish traditions), they have derived most of their ideas from abstractions based in cultural Marxism.
The phrase "melting pot" had gained wide currency in 1908, during the great wave of Slavic, Jewish, and Italian immigration, when Israel Zangwill's play "The Melting Pot" was produced. In it, a character says with enthusiasm, "America is God's crucible, the great melting-pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming!"
Beginning in the 1960s, instead of the melting pot, the multiculturalists — rooted in the cultural Marxism of Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Eric Fromm, Antonio Gramsci, and others — began affirming the diversity "salad bowl" image. Our national motto: E pluribus unum ("out of many one") has been stood on its head, whereby the goal of the nation is purported as fulfilled only by highlighting and praising the distinctions of every sub-cultural group in the U.S. by age, ethnicity, immigrant status, sexual deviancy (preference), and all "protected classes." The cultural Marxists want us to believe that the melting pot ideal was a deception imposed on society as a whole by white, male, straight Christians and that the melting pot ideal lacked truth, democratic values, and social vigor. The masses and certain groups in particular were shunted aside, dispossessed, ignored, or brutalized. America, despite its apparent successes, was sucking the hope and lifeblood out of the masses of people.
For those of us who have witnessed the progress of African-Americans since the days of Jim Crow and have experienced the economic and social progress of generations produced by the dirt-poor, non-English-speaking immigrants, the harsh criticisms of America by the Leftocrats has morphed into an outrageous and almost demonic defiance of reason. Where is the balance, the display of reasonableness, the acceptance of others? Instead, we see an unbridled, vulgar, destructive mindset on display everywhere in the party of derangement. Just consider the language used about Trump by Robert De Niro or the mock bloody beheadings of our president. Consider the evil assassin who tried to kill Republican congressmen in Florida.
The Democrats now rightly can be renamed Leftocrats. Their hostility to President Trump has reached pathological dimensions or worse. Their mantras about the "top 1%" or "top 0.1%" have become the tip of a spear of seemingly bottomless hatred for our president, our history, our legal structures, our institutions, our religious heritage, our language, and our achievements in every sphere of human endeavor. They have left the realm of constructive criticism and have moved even beyond destructive criticism into the pathological domain of hysterical dementia — or, as with Singer's story, a level of unhingedness even beyond the ken of psychiatry.
Democrats' Contempt for the Sanctity of Life
Hillary's going to get in
Democrats' Contempt for the Sanctity of Life
Ed Buck, a prominent Democrat donor and fundraiser, has
been charged with battery,
administering illegal drugs, and operating a drug house. The charges
paint a disturbing picture of this wealthy scion of liberal
politics. At this time, two men have been identified as having died
and a third having been seriously harmed, but prosecutors are said to have
found hundreds of photographs "of men in compromising positions" who may have
been lured to Buck's home with the promise of money, shelter, and drugs.
This case raises many questions, not just concerning the several
felonies with which Buck has been charged, but about the morality of this and
other prominent liberals. On what basis could any human being engage
in sexual conduct with "hundreds" of unfortunate human beings, using
them like playthings and then casting them aside? What does such
conduct suggest about the capacity of some individuals to use others for their
personal pleasure, regardless of the dangerous consequences
involved?
Certainly, conservatives are far from perfect, but at least
conservatives do not flaunt their iniquities. Conservatives as
individuals possess all the imperfections of other men, but they still ascribe
to an ideal of goodness and virtue. The same cannot be said for
liberals, who believe that they should rack up as much pleasure as possible in
this world because they are sure there's no life after death.
For liberals, what happens in the Oval Office stays in the Oval
Office. Many Democrats thought Bill Clinton was just being Clinton
and that there was nothing especially immoral about conducting affairs with
aides, state employees, actresses, and nursing home managers. Was
this because they did not appreciate the sanctity of those who served as mere
diversion for our 42nd president?
Just what is so appealing to liberals about promiscuity,
anyway? Is it just sex, or is there a special satisfaction in
transgressing traditional moral codes? Is it the idea that one is
"bigger" than the law? Or is it that liberals believe that
the rules no longer apply? Is it beneath them to believe in marital
fidelity and lifetime devotion to one's spouse? Liberals think they
are too sophisticated for this kid of trust, just as they think telling the
truth is Boy Scout stuff and election promises are made to be
broken. "If you like your doctor, you can keep your
doctor." Yeah, right.
Conservatives are different. We at least hold up the
ideal of devotion, honesty, and truth-telling, and though we're not perfect, we
try to be. That's especially the case when it involves the sanctity
of life. Conservatives defend the unborn, defend their families, and
defend their God-given liberties. Conservatives know that all of
God's creation is sacred, and it is that knowledge that makes them act with
restraint and care. That is the essence of conservatism.
The essence of liberalism, as I see it, is a lack of restraint
rooted in egotism and self. The Warren presidential campaign is a
perfect example. If elected, Elizabeth Warren will, according to her
own admission, attempt
to closely regulate all large businesses, eliminate fracking
and the jobs that go with it, provide Medicare for All, dictate health care
decisions (including practically unlimited abortion "rights"),
eliminate capital punishment, raise taxes on the wealthy and on corporations,
provide free college, cancel student debt, eliminate the Electoral College, ban
assault weapons, open our borders, legalize marijuana, and significantly cut
the defense budget.
Warren's policies show her
to be an extremist driven by ideology rather than concern for the individuals
whom she would tax, endanger, disenfranchise, and tyrannize with regulation and
social mandates. Where is her concern for the individuals whose
lives she would alter so radically with her sweeping reforms? Those
lives are sacred, their right to prosper and save is sacred, and their right to
safety and security is sacred. Warren does not seem to have thought
much about the dangers of unrestrained immigration or the fact that a weakened
national defense will put all Americans at risk. What is she
describing is tyranny, plain and simple.
The most obvious example of liberal denial of the sanctity of
life, of course, is liberals' position on abortion. For any person
who truly believes in the sanctity of life, abortion must be
repugnant. One point six million abortions, terminating
approximately one quarter of all pregnancies, are performed every year in the U.S. At
this rate, that would amount to 80 million abortions over the past 50
years. Imagine the loss of those beautiful human souls.
Or are they
beautiful? Liberals do not believe so. They tell us that
the earth has become overpopulated. It is "the earth" that
matters and not human beings. Or they say the mothers of those
unborn children would not be able to care for them and that the children would
just become a burden on the State. The "burden on the
State" is more important than the unborn child.
What you will never hear from a liberal is the idea that every
child, born and unborn, is sacred. A child is worth that burden and
worth the stress he purportedly places on "the earth." A
time is coming when America will wish that it had those 80 million souls to defend
it and help it prosper. That ability to contribute to society and
pursue economic opportunity, and to fight if necessary to defend one's home, is
another side of what makes every child sacred. Children are sacred
because of their capacity for goodness, beauty, and life, but also because they
will grow into adults who take responsibility for themselves and for their
neighbors.
Would any conservative vote to end the life of 80 million human
beings?
I believe that every human being is God's creation and that
everyone is born with the potential to contribute and achieve. Our
Founders believed in limited government because they too believed in human
potential, and they feared the tyranny of authoritarianism. They had
reason to fear, having lived under the yoke of British colonial rule.
It is no accident that those who seek a vast expansion of
government power today also oppose the sanctity of life. A free
people engaged in productive endeavors will never vote for a socialist who will
suppress their freedom. What today's tyrants fear above all is a
public that believes in the sanctity of life and is willing to stand up for it.
Jeffrey Folks is the author
of many books and articles on American culture including Heartland
of the Imagination (2011).
So is running for president now a corrupt Democrat's 'get out of jail free'
card?
Based on today's
standards, promoted in Congress and the press, Democratic Party candidates,
such as Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, can greatly enrich their
families with massive amounts of money from foreign parties, and a Republican
president or its Justice department are not even allowed to bring up their
names, let alone research their obvious corruption. Most of the media and
other Democrats are now calling President Trump's bid to get to the bottom of
the ongoing corruption we see 'impeachable' and they couldn't care less about
corruption as they preach that no one is above the law.
Democrats can seek trash
on their Republican opponents from foreign nationals and not only do most
journalists and other Democrats not care, they can use a fake dossier
full of opposition research as grist for an FBI investigation in their
bid to take out Trump. Then, if Trump brings up Biden’s name to a foreign
leader, they call that illegal and impeachable.
A Democrat, her staff and
many at the State Department and other agencies can continually violate the
nation's security laws (as Clinton did) and the Justice Department inexplicably
lets her off. Most journalists and other Democrats support her and call it
partisan to look at the clear violations of the law as they lecture everyone
that no one is above the law.
A Democrat and her spouse
can physically and mentally abuse women (again, the Clinton pair) and seek to
destroy anyone who gets in their way as they amass power. Most
journalists and other Democrats don’t give a damn about any of the abused women
with credible claims against Bill or Hillary Clinton even as they say how
pro-women they are.
A Democrat commits fraud
throughout her adult life by lying about her heritage to move up the economic
ladder (Elizabeth Warren) and most journalists and other Democrats will support
her. In fact, they've made her the frontrunner in the current Democratic
nomination for president polls.
Democrat candidates can
seek to destroy and impeach Judge Brett Kavanaugh based on articles the media
has published with no evidence to support the stories. And the media pretends
their stories are based on facts. How can they expect the public to believe
them when they ran years of stories on Russian collusion when there was never
any evidence?
Democrat candidates
continually lie about what Trump said in Charlottesville and lie about
Ferguson, Missouri to gin up racial hate and violence and they are
supported wholeheartedly by the complicit media as they pretend they are the
party of unity and the truthful party.
Democrat bureaucrats in
the Obama administration, at Justice, CIA, other intelligence agencies and at
the State Department continually lie to justify spying to take out Trump while
they protect Hillary from prosecution. But if the Trump administration looks at
the origins of the fake Russian collusion narrative, that is impeachable and
partisan. The compliant media doesn’t give a darn about the clear violations of
the law and abuse of power while they continually say that no one is above the
law.
A Democrat president
can violate the Constitution with DACA, be flexible with Russia, give kickbacks
to Iran tyrants, stop an investigation into drug running by terrorists to
appease Iran, violate bankruptcy laws, have slush funds at Justice, CFPB and
EPA to reward political supporters, illegally unmask names of people surrounding
Trump, leave Americans to die in Libya while concocting a lie, spy illegally on
thousands of Americans, imprison reporters, look the other way as his Secretary
of State violates security laws and takes kickbacks, Look the other way as
Obama administration officials such as Eric Holder, John Brennan, James
Clapper, Susan Rice and others commit perjury, withhold documents from Congress
for years on Fast and Furious, prosecute whistleblowers for violation of the
espionage act, cage and separate children at the border and all his
conversations with foreign leaders will remain private.
As the media watched all
this clear corruption unfold throughout eight years of Obama, almost all
journalists and other Democrat supported him, called him brilliant and to this
date pretend the Obama administration was scandal-free as they tell the public
that no one is above the law.
Known serial liars
Clapper, Brennan, Holder, plus creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti are
treated as reliable sources by almost all media outlets as they trash Trump.
Meanwhile, whatever Trump
does is impeachable, even if it is only bringing up Biden’s name to investigate
clear corruption. According to the media, as they collude with other Democrats,
it appears that every one of Trump’s phone calls should be made public.
And any disgruntled
Democrat bureaucrat who leaks information, whether or not they had firsthand
knowledge, should be treated as a protected whistleblower instead of a leaker.
Republicans are welcome
as reliable sources in the media, like Senators Mitt Romney, John McCain or
Jeff Flake, as long as they are trashing Trump. Otherwise they are not
welcome.
It is so hard to spot the
bias as the media trashes Trump and his supporters, daily, with every name in
the book and lecture the public that no one is above the law and how the
Democrat party is the party of unity.

Hillary's going to get in
It
is no longer a matter of if but of when. All doubts about Hillary's 2020
plans should have been erased by her appearances this week promoting the book
that she and her daughter “wrote” to say nothing about her mien! She
endlessly reprised her absurd claim
that the election was stolen from her, called for Trump's impeachment, and even
admitted to her gutsiness for standing by her man.
I
think she has always been in the race, covertly, and that she and Bill always
assumed that no candidate would arrive at the convention with enough delegates
to win the nomination on the first ballot, at which point she could be put
forth as a compromise.
Biden's
done for; there is no way he is going to survive the imbroglio surrounding his
son's machinations and profiteering in Ukraine and China. There's too
much there there. It will become inescapable, even to the unwashed, that
the only reason money flowed to Hunter Biden was to gain influence with Joe or
gain benefits through Joe and his network of friends and allies.
Joe’s
always been a placeholder for Hillary, whether he realizes it or not. It’s all
has changed now because Biden's done, and could precipitate Hillary's early
entry into the fray, as not only Biden but Bernie Sanders may be leaving the
field. With their supporters potentially up for grabs, Elizabeth Warren could
end up with a first ballot victory.
Hillary
has to know that she is considered to be unlikable, but I think it is a given
that no one likes Warren,
either. Daniel Greenfield compares her to Hillary here:
Warren’s likability deficit has nothing to do
with her gender....[She ripped] off asbestos victims while pocketing a tidy
sum....The ‘Hillariness’ of Warren doesn’t [just] lie in their shared fabulism
or lack of ethics....[her] a complete lack of qualifications....[or because
both are] inauthentic scolds who suffer from hall monitor syndrome. They spent
their entire lives breaking every rule they could find while awkwardly
fantasizing about running every tiny detail of everyone else’s
lives....[They're] both unlikable because you can’t picture either one having
any fun....[C]ombine that with an obsessive need to monitor, regulate and
eradicate other people’s fun, and you have the miserable essence of the
progressive movement.
Hillary,
and Bill, know that this is their [third] last chance, and they're not going to
let another woman snatch it from her, as that “articulate and
bright and clean and a nice-looking” black guy or that entitled creep
did. So, keep an eye out, for “when” is going to be sooner than anyone
expected.
Now,
can she win this time? Only a fool would count her out. She won't
lose Biden's supporters. Just being a woman will get her many of Warren's
female supporters. Despite Trump's inroads with African-American and
Hispanic voters, she'll find considerable support in those groups. Wall
Street, Hollywood, and the MSM love her. Traditional Democrats, not
wanting four more years of uproar, may return to the fold over Ukraine and the
like.
She'll
work harder this time, if she can uphold under the effort, bringing
Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin into the picture.
She'll be better prepared to debate Trump, but that may not mean much since
Trump's hard to out-debate.
Settle
into the chair, get out the popcorn, the show's about to begin. If you
doubt it, then I have a walking trail in Chappaqua to sell you.

‘The Left Case Against Open Borders’: Liberal Author Pans
‘Useful Idiots of Big Business’
22 Nov 20188

Progressives’
enthusiastic support for mass immigration has converted them into “useful
idiots” for the nation’s business elites, says a left-wing writer.
Today’s well-intentioned
activists have become the useful idiots of big business. With their adoption of
“open borders” advocacy—and a fierce moral absolutism that regards
any limit to migration as an unspeakable evil—any criticism of the
exploitative system of mass migration is effectively dismissed as blasphemy.
Even solidly leftist politicians, like Bernie Sanders in the United States and
Jeremy Corbyn in the United Kingdom, are accused of “nativism” by critics if
they recognize the legitimacy of borders or migration restriction at any
point. This open borders radicalism ultimately benefits the elites
within the most powerful countries in the world, further disempowers organized
labor, robs the developing world of desperately needed professionals, and turns
workers against workers.
Nagle also argues that mass
immigration operates extracts human talent from developing societies for
the benefit of wealthy, comfortable U.S. elites:
Advocates of open borders often
overlook the costs of mass migration for developing countries. Indeed,
globalization often creates a vicious cycle: liberalized trade policies destroy
a region’s economy, which in turn leads to mass emigration from that area, further
eroding the potential of the origin country while depressing wages for the
lowest paid workers in the destination country. One of the major causes of
labor migration from Mexico to the United States has been the economic and
social devastation caused by the North American Free Trade Agreement
(nafta). Nafta forced Mexican farmers to compete with U.S.
agriculture, with disastrous consequences for Mexico. Mexican imports doubled,
and Mexico lost thousands of pig farms and corn growers to U.S. competition. When
coffee prices fell below the cost of production, nafta prohibited
state intervention to keep growers afloat. Additionally, U.S.
companies were allowed to buy infrastructure in Mexico, including,
for example, the country’s main north-south rail line. The railroad then
discontinued passenger service, resulting in the decimation of the rail
workforce after a wildcat strike was crushed. By 2002, Mexican wages had
dropped by 22 percent, even though worker productivity increased by 45 percent.7 In regions like Oaxaca,
emigration devastated local economies and communities, as men emigrated to work
in America’s farm labor force and slaughterhouses, leaving behind women,
children, and the elderly.
Left-wing servants of business
elites spray claims of racism on the public to suppress their rational and
reasonable opposition to immigration exploitation, Nagle argues:
The immigration expansionists
have two key weapons. One is the big business and financial interests all
working on their side, but an equally powerful weapon—wielded more
expertly by the left-leaning immigration expansionists—is moral
blackmail and public shame. People are right to see the mistreatment of
migrants as morally wrong. Many people are concerned about the growth of racism
and callousness toward minorities that often accompanies anti-immigration
sentiment. But the open borders position does not even live up to its own
professed moral code.
The tacit alliance of the
wealthy against the middle prompt some invective by the Irish author;
In the wealthiest nations, open
borders advocacy seems to function as a fanatical cult among
true believers—a product of big business and free market lobbying is
carried along by a larger group of the urban creative, tech, media, and
knowledge economy class, who are serving their own objective class interests by
keeping their transient lifestyles cheap and their careers intact as they
parrot the institutional ideology of their industries. The truth is that mass
migration is a tragedy, and upper-middle-class moralizing about it is a farce.
Perhaps the ultra-wealthy can afford to live in the borderless world they
aggressively advocate for, but most people need—and want—a coherent,
sovereign political body to defend their rights as citizens.
The establishment’s economic policy
of using migration to boost economic growth shifts wealth from young people
towards older people by flooding the market
with cheap white-collar and blue-collar foreign labor. That flood of outside
labor spikes profits and Wall Street
values by cutting salaries for manual
and skilled labor offered by blue-collar
and white-collar employees.
The policy also drives up real estate
prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech
investment, increases state and
local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from
high-tech careers, and sidelines at least five million marginalized Americans and
their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid
addictions.
Immigration also pulls investment
and wealth away from heartland states because coastal investors can more easily
hire and supervise the large immigrant populations living in the coastal
states.

Two Americas: De Blasio's
Amazon vs. Trump's Walmart
That the Democrat Party is
now the party of the rich is increasingly seen in its candidates. Forget the
occasional Ocasio-Cortez. A Democrat candidate is more likely to be someone
like Illinois’ new governor, J.B. Pritzer, who promises to complete Illinois’
financial collapse with single-payer insurance and a progressive income tax,
promising to
persist until he runs out of other people’s money:
John Edwards once spoke of
“two Americas,” one “for all of those people who have lived the American
dream and don't have to worry, and another for most Americans, everybody else
who struggle to make ends meet every single day”. One is reminded of this by
New York City mayor Bill De Blasio’s full-throated shouting of “socialism for
all” from the rooftops of buildings whose height his
politburo would determine and whose rents and occupants his commissars would
control.
Mayor
Bill de Blasio cited his "socialistic impulse" in describing an ideal
world where New York City government has control over all land and buildings in
his city.
“I
think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the
city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it
will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be,” de Blasio said in
a wide-ranging
interview with New York Magazine. “I think there’s a
socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community that
they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs.”
To each according to their
needs -- gee, where have we heard that before? One would be willing to believe
De Blasio’s socialistic impulses arises out of genuine, if wrongheaded, concern
for the working poor and the middle class, the people the Democrat “party of
compassion” is allegedly the champion of, if it were not for De
Blasio’s support for what some would call corporate welfare, welcoming
cash-rich and taxpayer-subsidized Amazon’s new HQ to New York City while
closing its borders to a Walmart invasion.
A listener asked just what
the difference was between the two retail giants during the
mayor’s weekly guest spot on WNYC radio:
“Amazon
is… part of the American economy,” he continued. “I would ask every good
progressive, every listener out there who has a concern about Amazon: How many
are using Amazon as part of their daily lives? Whatever you like or dislike
about Amazon, Walmart is an entirely different universe in terms of the efforts
they’ve undertaken to not only undermine labor, small business, the
environment… and obviously the politics of [Walmart’s owners] the Walton family
to add to it,” referring to the Waltons’ track record of funneling megabucks to
conservative causes.
Funny that De Blasio has no
objection to the likes of billionaires Tom Steyer, Oprah Winfrey, and George
Soros funneling big bucks to liberal candidates and causes. One of the
takeaways from the 2018 midterms was the morphing of the Democrats to the party
of the rich as those stinky Walmart shoppers lined up at Trump rallies. The GOP
is now the party of the working class, or the deplorable bitter-clingers of
Hillary Clinton’s and Barack Hussein Obama’s disdain. As deep state coup
architect Peter Strzok
infamously said in a text message to fellow agent Lisa Page:
“Just
went to a southern Virginia Walmart. I could SMELL the Trump support.”
Who wants Walmart greeters
and cashiers moving to New York when you can have the high-rollers who work for
Amazon? Amazon promises to deliver 25,000 jobs with an average salary of
$150,000, which is a lot more than the average Walmart greeter or cashier
makes.
Founded as a single
five-and-dime store in a small Arkansas town, its success story mirrors
America’s. It is a poster child for capitalism and the American dream. It is
ironic that Wal-Mart critics, who have long complained its employees live
paycheck to paycheck, forget that many of its customers also live paycheck to
paycheck, and seek quality merchandise at decent prices. They opposed “low”
wages for Wal-Mart employees while in effect supporting higher prices for
Wal-Mart customers.
That the Democrat Party is
now the party of the rich is increasingly seen in its candidates. Forget the
occasional Ocasio-Cortez. A Democrat candidate is more likely to be someone
like Illinois’ new governor, J.B. Pritzer, who promises to complete Illinois’
financial collapse with single-payer insurance and a progressive income tax,
promising to
persist until he runs out of other people’s money:
This
month saw the election of Jay Robert "J.B." Pritzker as governor of
Illinois. Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, is worth an estimated
$3.2 billion, and spent $171.5 million to get himself elected, according to Money magazine.
Another
winner was Edward M. "Ned" Lamont Jr., in the Connecticut governor's
race. Lamont, an heir to the J.P. Morgan banking fortune of his
great-grandfather Thomas Lamont, estimated his assets in
2006 at between $90 million and $300 million, and showed reporters tax returns last
month with income totaling $18 million over 5 years.
The
winner of the election for governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, filed
financial disclosure forms
as a member of the House of Representatives indicating estimated wealth of more
than $300 million.
Pritzker,
Lamont, and Polis are all Democrats…
Somehow,
the wealth of Pritzker, Lamont, and Polis has gotten less attention, perhaps
because it doesn't so easily fit the country-club Republican stereotype.
Instead of writing about the limousine liberals who are so rich they make the
Trump cabinet look like a bunch of paupers, the press has been obsessing about
how a newly elected congresswoman from the Bronx, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
can't afford to rent a place in Washington until she starts collecting her
congressional salary.
The socialism of the coastal
elites of which De Blasio is a leader is akin to the old Soviet politburo who
lived very well as they dictated what could be built and where, what people
would make and where and how they would live. Everyone was equal but some were
more equal than others.
I reject the Democrat Party
of the rich in favor of the GOP party of the working poor and the middle class,
the deplorable bitter clingers. God, how I love the smell of Walmart in the
morning.

‘Impeachment’ Billionaire Tom Steyer Prepares to Launch Presidential Bid

Left-wing billionaire Tom Steyer, who spent millions in the 2018
midterm elections pushing for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, is
preparing to launch a campaign for president in 2020, according to Politico.
The former billionaire investor, climate activist and
impeachment agitator Tom Steyer will take several steps toward a 2020
presidential bid Tuesday.
That will include a six-figure web ad buy on Twitter, Facebook,
YouTube, and Instagram along with a full-page ad in USA Today and other Gannett
newspapers outlining a political platform, a revamped TomSteyer.com, and the
announcement of five town halls across the country, the first of which will be
in the crucial early primary state of South Carolina, according to copies of
the ad and platform provided to POLITICO.
The first town hall is set for Dec. 4 in Charleston, S.C., and
the next will be in Fresno, Calif., sometime in December, according to Aleigha
Cavalier, senior communications adviser for TomSteyer.com who also works for
Steyer’s climate-focused group NextGen America. There will be one town hall for
each of the “5 rights” on Steyer’s platform: the right to an equal vote, to
clean air and water, to learn with pre-K education through college, to a living
wage, and to health.
Steyer has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on other
Democrats’ campaigns in recent years. He was the party’s top donor in 2014 —
buying few wins but allowing him to force the party to stage an all-night talk
session about climate change on the Senate floor.
In 2018, he
spent over $100 million on an effort to push for impeachment, reinforcing that message the day
after the election in a New
York Times op-ed.

DEMOCRAT PARTY CORRUPTION
"This is how they will destroy America from
within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are
extravagantly wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never
be exposed to the downside of the invasion of millions of migrants, the
crime or the financial burden. They have nothing but contempt
for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being
intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human
traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans;
like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA
McCARTHY
Democrat Corruption is a Clear and Present Danger to America
On
November 6, it seemed the Republicans might hold their majority in the Senate
and in the House. Sadly, they lost their majority in the House. The
mystery is why so many Democrat candidates who are so obviously ethically
challenged won in races that should not have even been close.
How and why do Democrats continue to vote for unqualified,
dishonest candidates? Elizabeth Warren is a proven liar, a cheat who
claimed Native American heritage in order to get a job at
Harvard. Her baby, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, was her
plan to wield control over all bank and non-bank institutions without
Congressional interference. In short, she is a hard-left socialist who
means to control how Americans earn, spend and borrow money, how they use their
savings. Warren is a blight on the Constitution and the guaranteed
freedoms of US citizens. She is an advance operative for the socialist America
the left envisions.
Andrew
Gillum, the left's choice to be Governor of Florida, is the failed mayor of
Tallahassee. He remains
under FBI investigation for
corruption. Given the information about that investigation that has
been released, he appears yet another greedy and corrupt Democrat pol in the
Hillary Clinton mold. The stability of Tallahassee declined
catastrophically under his leadership; crime
and murder rose drastically.
Gillum
sold out his city for money, and cries racism when confronted with his
crimes. He should never have been the candidate for the Governor of
Florida but the left cares only about race and power, not ethics or
honor. For progressives, race trumps everything else, even
character. If Gillum wins after the cheating Broward County is
infamous for, Florida will suffer the slings and arrows that are inevitable
under politicians like Gillum. Why was this race even
close? Have half the nation's voters scuttled any semblance
of traditional values in order to win? Yes.
Then there is Robert Menendez, the credibly accused pedophile
senator of New Jersey. He should be in prison but was saved by one
juror in his corruption trial with whom he partied after his win on November
6. Who votes for a man like this? There
is plenty of proof that he took bribes from a wealthy client for numerous
favors, trips to the Dominican Republic for sex with underage girls
being one of them. But New Jersey just re-elected this
man. They too have lost all sense of right vs. wrong.
Stacey
Abrams, the still grasping gubernatorial contender in Georgia, is a
hard-left, anti-capitalist, anti-Second Amendment candidate. She
owes about $200K in credit card debt and wants to run Georgia? She
too is corrupt and incompetent. She is also willing to cheat to win.
Are Georgians ignorant of her many, many negatives? If they are, they voted for
her anyway. Again, skin color trumps
everything.
The
left ignores fine men like John
James, who ran for the House in Michigan against
Debbie Stabenow. The left ignored Eddie Edwards who
ran in New Hampshire. Both men are conservative African
Americans. The American left today pretends such candidates do not
exist. They have ignored fine people like James and Edwards as they
have always ignored brilliant men like Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Walter
Williams, Jason Riley, and Larry Elder. They revile the brilliant
Clarence Thomas. They don't like to be reminded of men like Frederick
Douglass or Booker
T. Washington. Neither of them, like
Sowell, Steele, Williams and Elder ever promoted the idea that African
Americans were or would be perennial victims. Each of them advocated
for quite the opposite, for self-reliance and independence.
This
notion of personal responsibility is anathema to today's left; they need and
promote subservience and dependency among their flock of reliable but
uninformed voters. This is why they encourage the immigration of so
many millions of illegal migrants. They assume they will be able to win for
them the right to vote. Judging by the number of them who likely
voted in the midterms, their plan is succeeding.
This is how they will destroy America from
within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are
extravagantly wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never
be exposed to the downside of the invasion of millions of migrants,
the crime or the financial burden. They have nothing but
contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities
being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human
traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans;
like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us.
Then
there is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the thoroughly-ignorant-of-everything
candidate who won her district by 80%! This young woman
knows nothing about how any government works, let alone ours. She is
hopelessly uniformed; she knows even less about US history or the
Constitution. She is clueless about the economy. When
asked how she would pay for all the give-away programs she touts, she replied
that that was a "puzzling question"! "You
just pay for it" she answers. She
has no idea; no idea about anything. She thinks she will be
"inaugurated" to the House! Most fourth graders know more
than she does about US history. And yet she is already
thinking about running for President! This is a
wholesale indictment of our politicized, dumbed-down system of
education. Many of her constituents are immigrants; we are obviously
not educating them at all. They voted for all the free stuff --
college, medical care, basic income, housing, that Ocasio-Cortez has
promised to deliver. This is what socialist Democrats dream
about: perpetual power over a populace too ignorant to
rebel. American as founded is at grave risk.
In
addition to ODasio-Cortez, Gillum, Ilhan Omar, Abrams, Sinema,
who very likely cheated to
take the Arizona Senate seat, there is Linda
Sanchez. Kirsten Gillibrand is a Hillary clone;
she only cares about her own political power. She speaks like a small child but
is also considering a run for the presidency. She was best pals with
Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein until they were politically
inconvenient. Amy Klobuchar, who embraced the vicious and obviously
false allegations against Judge Kavanagh, was re-elected! Like every
other Democrat member of the judiciary committee, she knew those accusations
were false, without a shred of corroboration, but her constituents re-elected
her! Who are these voters? How do they reconcile voting
for people willing to destroy a fine man for political purposes? She
is exactly who every Democrat member of that committee is, who every member of
the Democrat Party is: nothing more than power-hungry political
operatives out to ruin any and all opponents by any means
necessary. They are a clear and present danger to American as
founded.
Young
people are no longer taught the truth of American history. They are
not taught the truth of the Holocaust. Anti-Semitism
is acceptable, even promoted, by the Democrats. They
embrace Linda
Sarsour and Louis Farrakhan without
shame. Young people don't know that communism killed
over a hundred million people in the twentieth century. Their
calculated-by-leftists ignorance is destroying our country. They try
to sell the idea that gender is not a factor of biology! They
attempt to convince young people that climate change is man-made (a travesty)
and that global warming causes wild fires (a lie). Having control
over academia, they have willfully brainwashed students for nearly two
generations. Unless your children are a strong-willed, independent
thinkers, do not send them to college!
How
and why the American left has devolved into the kind of party one finds in a
banana republic is a mystery. That our media is so anxious to
promote their corrupt candidates and the low-brow
tactics they employ is a tragedy. Do they do it
because they can no longer win by promulgating their Orwellian vision of a
socialist state, mandated equality of
outcome? Perhaps. They will never sell socialism to
enough sentient Americans to win. They need millions of uninformed
voters to succeed.
We must not let them cheat their way to power over the rest of
us. Their ongoing vote fraud must be stopped and the Democrats need
to take a look at themselves and at what they have become. It's not a pretty
picture. What they have become threatens to destroy the greatest
nation on the planet and they are doing it on purpose. They have
nothing but contempt for the US as founded and for those of us who love this
country.
DEMOCRACY
DIES IN A LEFTIST COUP
The best midterms that San Francisco donors
could buy.
November 15, 2018
Daniel Greenfield, a
Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative
journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
After President Trump
took office, the Washington Post announced its new motto,
“Democracy dies in darkness.” But it was the Washington Post, not
Trump, that was guilty of undermining democracy.
President Trump had been
legitimately elected by a majority of states. The Washington Post was
an establishment paper in a government city owned by a dot com robber baron.
There’s nothing more undemocratic than a paper owned by the richest man in the
world working to overturn an election.
There was just as little
democracy to the midterm elections in which wealthy donors from blue states and
districts poured money into local races in red and purple states and
districts. San Francisco and New York billionaires buying elections in
Pennsylvania and Nevada is not democracy. It’s oligarchy.
American elected
officials were meant to be elected by local communities to serve their needs.
Instead the Left has nationalized local races by exploiting its cultural power.
And when that didn’t produce the immediate results that it wanted, began
overwhelming local elections with huge piles of outside cash.
The midterm elections
were the best elections that San Francisco donors could buy.
Senate Democrats picked
up $220 million in out-of-state donations these midterms. That huge pile of
cash also amounted to sixty percent of their haul. The
majority of Dem Senate cash came from donors who weren’t living in the states
they were running in, but who were trying to buy elections for them.
That’s the Washington
Post brand of democracy.
It’s not just Senate
races being bought up by out-of-state donors. 45% of House Dem money came from
out-of-state donors. And when they didn’t succeed in buying a local election
the first time, they just kept on pouring in more money into a district until
they got their way.
Last year, Democrats
poured in $22.5 million into a special election in Georgia’s
6th congressional district. 95% of the donations came from
out-of-state donors. Democrat Jon Ossoff received more donations from California than Georgia. Ossoff still lost to
Rep. Karen Handel, even though her donations amounted to only a fraction of his
ActBlue bucks.
But the same donors just
waited a year and bought the seat for Lucy McBath in the midterms.
In October, Lucy McBath
was appearing at the Writers Guild Theater in Los Angeles hosted by Hollywood
royalty like Katzenberg, Tony Goldwyn and Cameron Crowe for a $500 a head
fundraiser.
A large chunk of outside
money behind McBath came from Michael Bloomberg. McBath touted his gun control
positions and the New York billionaire’s front groups put $4.5 million behind his lackey.
There’s nothing
democratic about Bloomberg buying the 6th the way he once bought Gracie
Mansion.
In Illinois' 13th
Congressional District, Betsy Dirksen Londrigan pulled in $1.7 million to Rep.
Rodney Davis' $700K in a three month period. And then outside groups poured in
nearly as much again in support of Londrigan. $300K of that money came from
California.
In Nevada, out-of-state
donors bought Jacky Rosen a senate seat. 85% of the radical lefty
candidate’s donations came from outside the state. Of her 5 top donor zip
codes, two were in New York, two in California, including Palo Alto, and the
odd zip code out was in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
The media frequently airs
complaints about how little political power New York and California have per
capita compared to a handful of small states. These complaints are not only
cynically specious, they ignore the fact that between the media’s messaging
force multipliers and the bicoastal wealth being used to buy elections,
political power has become as concentrated as economic and cultural power.
And that’s the opposite
of democracy.
The midterms weren’t a
populist wave. They were an angry tantrum by wealthy blue state donors who used
their money to buy local elections as payback for having their views ignored in
2016. Instead of listening to the rest of the country, they set out to buy it,
lock, stock and barrel. They found experts, consultants, strategists,
programmers and organizers who would buy them other people’s elections.
Much of their money was
wasted. Just ask Beto O’Rourke and his $70 million war chest. But their
hysterical frenzy of spending made an undeniable impact. If you throw enough
mud or money at an election, eventually it sticks. The Democrat raised nearly
$1 billion to take the House.
And they took it.
$166.8 million was pumped into 30 House
Democrat candidates. That’s compared to $90.7 million for the Republican
candidates in those races.
The most expensive
midterm elections in history paid off for Democrats. And there’s nothing
democratic about that.
Democracy doesn’t die in
darkness. It dies in the glare of lefty media, lefty money and lefty power
which strip away local issues and local agency in Arizona, Illinois,
Pennsylvania and Florida. Big blue state donors bought the midterm elections to
send a message to President Trump. Many had been convinced by frenzied media
hit pieces in papers like the Washington Post that action
was desperately urgent.
When the Washington
Post, the rest of the media and their long tail of ActBlue donors
intervene in local elections, it doesn’t uphold democracy. It drowns it in the
bright actinic glare of flashes and floodlights.
The media postures as a
defender of democracy, but corporate media is more naturally a defender of
establishments, of the nostrums and platitudes of the elites whom it serves and
coddles. When it interferes in elections, it doesn’t do so for the sake of the
people, but for the sake of its people.
Political elites mistrust
the people and use the media to manipulate popular elections into endorsing
their unpopular agendas. The mainstream media is an inherently undemocratic
institution that amplifies elite voices at the expense of local communities. It
claims to be democratic only because it reinterprets democracy to mean the
political agendas of the Democrats rather than those of the people.
Lefties often misuse
democracy to mean a set of values while actual democracy, the vox populi, is
tarred as populism. But democracy isn’t a set of social issues. It’s the power
shift between the voters and elected officials. Big media and blue state
billionaires have shifted that balance away from local voters by buying local
elections and seeking new voters when the old won’t vote their way.
If a few million in
attack ads won’t influence local voters, you register new ones. If that doesn’t
work, then you legalize felons. And if that won’t do it, there are the illegal
aliens, and voter and ballot fraud. Buy a few secretary of state races. Set up
housing for out-of-state college students. Sign up aliens to vote. And then
even if the local voters don’t vote your way, it won’t matter. They’ll have
been outvoted.
This isn’t democracy. But
it is how Democrats have won some local races.
The shift away from local
voters to a national political infrastructure is undemocratic. But it neatly
fits into the larger leftist cause of centralizing all of politics (and all
other areas of life) in elitist strongholds. The partnerships between elitist
leaders and their local crony stakeholders act as a fig leaf for the
dismantling of local autonomy with performative diversity replacing
representational democracy.
The Democrats have waged
an undemocratic war on democracy in the name of democracy. The midterms were
the latest leftist coup against democracy. And democracy lost to the Left.
THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WAGES WAR ON AMERICA!

“Open border advocates, such as
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to
California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the CIS has
documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few
skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them
access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegals
were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, CA, with its 2.6
million illegals, would be booming.” STEVE BALDWIN – AMERICAN SPECTATOR

"America’s elites, now overwhelmingly represented by the
Democratic Party, have a single overriding interest: their self-indulgent
lifestyle."
Class Conflict within the
Democratic Party
Over many decades, the American Left, the Democratic Party and
their mutual propaganda arm, the self-styled “mainstream media,” have
successfully portrayed conservatives and the Republican Party as a coalition of
the wealthy and intolerant. Further, the Democrats and the left have
claimed that they are the true champions of the working or middle class as they
unceasingly fight to defeat and marginalize this evil menace.
The reality, however, is that this cabal has virtually no interest
in defending or aiding the working class as they are, in fact, the party of a
bifurcated constituency: the wealthy and those dependent on the largess of the
government.
America’s elites, now overwhelmingly represented by the Democratic
Party, have a single overriding interest: their self-indulgent
lifestyle. This
is manifested in their mistaken belief that conservatives (i.e. the “right”)
are hell bent on enforcing their version of morality on the nation, thus
potentially calling into question the lifestyles of the rich and
solipsistic.
The veracity of this claim is immaterial as it would require an
element of deliberation not emotion -- a trait in extremely short supply
among the nation’s privileged class, nearly all of whom have difficulty in
generating an original thought due to the ill-education rampant in America’s
universities. Thus, the mindless accusations of racism, misogyny and
Fascism directed at the conservative rubes in middle America are acceptable,
and in far too many instances believed, particularly as many had the temerity
to vote for Donald Trump – who, although wealthy and Ivy League educated, is
considered the ultimate unsophisticated rube.
As conservatives are the dominant force in the Republican Party
and this nation cannot function politically with more than two major political
parties, the alternative is the Democratic Party. An entity dominated by the
American Left, an assemblage whose core philosophy is antithetical to the
interests of the wealthy and privileged. Yet, determined to protect their
lifestyles and vilify conservatives, they willingly ally with the left and
overwhelmingly support virtually any Democratic candidate. In the recent
2018 mid-terms, Democratic House candidates outspent their Republican opponents
by a two to one margin thanks primarily to this wealthy but myopic
assemblage.
Their colleagues in the Democratic Party, and the preponderance of
the membership, are those dependent on the largess of the federal and state
governments. On the other hand, the growing segment of the citizenry who
are working and self-sufficient are increasingly joining those who believe in
limited government in migrating to the Republican Party-- a process that is
accelerating with the policies and tactics of Donald Trump in combating the
entrenched left and their determination to culturally and economically
transform the nation. The Republican Party will inevitably become the
party of the working or middle class. As such, they could potentially
dominate the political agenda for the foreseeable future.
The left and the Democratic Party, in order to offset this
possibility, must aggressively seek to increase the number of dependents by
promoting the legalization and ultimate citizenship for untold millions of
illegal immigrants and promising all Americans cradle to grave economic
security. In order to enact this strategy to defeat the Republicans, the left
must have the active participation and financial support of the nation’s
wealthy-- which they have.
The Democratic Party has evolved into essentially an incompatible
two-tier class-driven entity encompassing the nation’s wealthiest and the
nation’s poorest. Nonetheless, it is at present a convenient home for the
elites to hold off the imaginary horde of conservatives outside their gilded
doors.
However, the voting numbers within the party are overwhelmingly
with those who generally support the leftist philosophies of redistribution
(e.g. socialized medicine and guaranteed incomes) and curtailing of freedom
(e.g. speech, assembly and religion). While it may not manifest itself to
the affluent who have cast their lot with the Democrats, the redistribution of
wealth must, by necessity, come from the wealthy, as that is where the bulk of
the nation’s wealth resides. It is also this same small-in-numbers
group that benefits the most from freedom of speech and assembly.
Once fully embroiled in this marriage of convenience, a divorce
will be impossible as the co-inhabitant of the Democratic Party, the dependent
class, must continue grow in order to electorally defeat the Republicans and
protect the left’s agenda. Further, the oversold expectations promulgated
by the left will never be satisfied regardless of how many promises are made or
token redistributive programs are enacted by the current ruling class.
Only a complete transformation of this nation into a failed socialist state
will satiate the left, their acolytes and their attendant army of
dependency. A goal more in reach than ever thanks to the inability of the
nation’s elites to give a damn about the future of the country.
There is not a more short-sighted and self-absorbed group of
citizens in this nation than the white, wealthy well-educated urban and
suburban voters. They
are willing to rend the fabric of this nation in order to protect their
privilege and lifestyle. While the vast majority of Americans will ultimately
pay the price, the current ruling class and their progeny will have far more to
lose.
